This reminds me of a Discovery Channel show from about 15-20 years ago, called "Escape from Planet Earth" or something, where a solar disaster required evacuating a small number of people to a new planet, within the next 5-10 years, using modern technology. There were two projects, one public and one private, and the private one ended up exploding on the launch pad because it was rushed and over-engineered.

Imagine David Koch, a billionaire, sitting down with his Economist and seeing an article about how "Clinton Named In SA Allegation". David is shocked and declares that "No billionaire would do such a thing". The next day he sits down to read his Economist again; and, this time, finds an article about Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire, whose brutal actions make Clinton seem almost gentlemanly. This fact shows that David was wrong in his opinion, but is he going to admit this? Not likely. This time he says: "No true billionaire would do such a thing".

The purpose of HR is to protect the company from its employees.

I'm having the same issue. I made an account via my phone and set my language to English, but I can't seem to log in to the website.

But the choice between the blue and the red pill, is not really a choice between illusion and reality. Of course, Matrix is a machine for fictions. But these are fictions which already structure our reality. If you take away from our reality the symbolic fictions which regulate it, you lose reality itself. I want a THIRD pill! zizek-preference

It certainly helped kill my interest in the New Atheism movement.
